Summary
Ever since she was a young girl, Darryn O’Malley has dreamed of being a sports reporter.
Growing up, Darryn was not only an avid sports fan, but she was a dedicated athlete as well. From hockey to softball to soccer, it seems there isn’t a sport Darryn hasn’t played. Whether it was on a skating rink, hard court or grassy field, she loved to compete.
Even when she wasn’t on the playing field, Darryn still dedicated her time to sports as she was passionate about the journalism-aspect of athletics.
The only television she watched was sports highlights, and most of her reading material was sports-related. She even loved combing through statistics and numbers.
Darryn was a sports reporter for Humber College’s newspaper, Humber Et Cetera, where she covered everything from games to events to player profiles and features. She also served as the executive editor of SCRIBE Magazine, a student-run Toronto-based magazine. She recently completed an internship at The Globe and Mail, Canada’s national newspaper, where she spent her time as a sports and news reporter, covering the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Argonauts.
Darryn is honoured to be the recipient of the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame George Gross Award for Journalism. She is incredibly grateful to those who nominated her for the award, and she is thankful for the many opportunities Humber College has given her.
